Yet another wonderful thing I miss out on by not owning a cell phone!

I get toll road texts. Usually after not even using the indiana toll road for 6 months. It's gotten so I don't believe even the legitimate texts.

Literally got one today.

Rule #1, if you don't know who texted you, do not reply back. Especially if it's something random like "Waiting for you to call me back." That's how they know they've got a live one. Block first and always. If they turn up legit later you can unblock.

And do frequently

You should read up on the problem. It’s not even close to that simple.

They a lot of times, send them as a group text, which is weird.

I can vouch that this scam is hugh!

Wait til you get a text from an African prince who got caught up in the HOV lane and needs help desperately.

Same here. 3x already.

+62 country code ( Indonesia) Unpaid toll fees… Since i’ve never been to Indonesia…. They shall remain Unpaid fees

And supposed toll road tickets…

Well at least the scammers are considerate! The DMV will let your license expire and say nothing.

Have you been to Illinois?!? Mfkers.

Even if it actually was the DMV, that shit would still probably still just go unpaid if I'm being honest.

I got on from the Iowa DOT about unpaid EZPass tolls. Iowa doesn’t have toll roads.

I’ve gotten a few of these - plus similar texts about my info for auto-pay of my Internet account. I don’t use auto-pay.

I get those too. I just block and move on.

Yes, unpaid toll charges in MI.

Absolutely

I used to get calls from the “IRS” that I owed tax money and there was a warrant for my arrest.

About a year late with this news.

I text them back, "reported", and their number magically disappears 🤷‍♀️

I just block them. Needless to say, my block list is getting long.

I keep getting notifications about toll road fees that haven't been paid. There aren't any toll roads that I am aware of in the Phoenix metro area or for that matter, state wide. I responded to one of their texts with this info and then blocked them. Whoever they are.

No coincidence. I'm convinced doge boys sold our data. We've been getting 5-6 times more spam calls and texts in the last month. Some of them are targeting seniors, my age group.

The scammers should concentrate on the red states. People there are more gullible and appear happy to hand over money to billionaires when asked.

Got a text saying I owed for tolls in Colorado. You a number that I didn't actually get until after I left Colorado

Each driver in our household (4) Has received one of these almost legit looking texts in the past few weeks. Mama don’t raise up no fools.😡

Absolutely right. I receive at least 2 of these every day. At times it seems real but you should always check the DMV online. Never ever answer these texts.

Just got one of those this morning!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I get these sham "this is your last chance to pay this fine" all the time. Got one this afternoon.

Yep. Text from 'law enforcement' for unpaid tolls - don't fall for it.

Just got one today! And I have to say, because it knew what state I’d been driving in, I went to check to see if it was a scam or not… My parents might have fallen for it; I feel bad for older folks.

I've received at least 3 of them, and there are no toll roads or bridges in my state. Stupid scammers. The ones I REALLY want them to go after are the Medicare scammers. Those fuckers call my mom's house more than a dozen times per day.

Glad to amplify this!

Especially with a country code of +63

And with the departments intended to handle these issues being decimated by Dramadon. They are free to come after every one.

🤣🤣🤣 I’ve been on the lam just in case!

Someone called me and asked if I called them as in a missed call. My # was spoofed. My local car insurer was too when I answered and it was not her or anyone in her office- some scammer wasting my time

Just got one!

Exactly!! I recently received one of those texts!

Have been getting texts about unpaid toll fees

I get about 3 of these scam texts a month!

Got one today. It was laughably obvious. I really liked the threat to transfer it to a toll booth (point 4).

I’ve received between 20-30 of these scam texts. They were easy for me to disregard because I haven’t been on any toll roads.

Block and delete.

Yeah, I got a call.

I’m getting these now. Thank goodness I called

And they don't even know if you owe They've tried twice but I haven't owned a vehicle in 20 yrs

🤣🤣🤣😎

Frequently, the people working at the call centers are trafficked. They are tricked into the system by a promise of a legitimate job in a legit biz call center.

They want us poor. Look at the bill in congress. Massive, massive wealth transfer to Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and Bezos.

Same, and impersonating the IRS, FBI, and CIA too. They’re so brazen. It’s wild!

Wow!

Had one today as a matter of fact.

agreoo.com/2025/05/25/h...

just got one today

Seen it here in Fl where we are free. Free to watch our governor grift and fuck us at every step.

We already have this in Europe

Same!

Just received one of those texts today. Deleted!!!!!

I’ve had dozens recently

I got one recently for “unpaid tolls” in the state of Oregon. Oregon doesn’t have tolls. 🤨

I’ve been getting those texts for my Good To Go account. I might have even responded to one of them FOAD before I blocked their number.

ANOTHER one I've seen is fake unpaid toll "reminders" with a veiled threat of losing your license. They look very official but at least where I am they simply don't do that - they send a paper bill.

I no longer drive but I get these texts all the time. I just report and delete.

I get texts about the fees I owe for using the toll roads in a state I've never been to in my life. Sometimes they're just that adorable with how hard they fail.

Respond to nothing that doesn’t come in a stamped envelope, and then call yourself to find out what the problem is. Even better, show up in person.

EV development is necessary to reduce the amount of respiratory disease and death in our society❤️

I get these scams often. I delete them. The only way they’ll convince me is when a cop shows up & puts me in handcuffs. And even then, I will question it.

Get this crap everyday. So annoying.

What about Seth Rich?

Received one this morning😡

These texts are easy to spot. They don’t say where or who they are from

I get these texts all the time. I immediately delete them.

I got one this morning supposedly from NYS DMV. It was totally fake.

I haven't gotten a text on my phone about cars ever. Calls about my 'extended warranty' but I blocked them and funny,it works. I don't own a car, so information from DMV doesn't get leaked. I also don't use my phone a lot. The more you use it, the more chances there are for scammers to find it.

Yeah. I get routine texts about toll fees. Delete

I get those texts occasionally. I just laugh as I seldom drive more than 30 miles from home, no tollways in rural areas. Delete and report as spam.

Ya, SCAMMERS would hate to see you get into trouble... 🥸

There are despicable people in this world

I sent a “lolz”

That is so strange because I have received 3 of those in the last 4 hours

Texas also😡

Yeah, I receive the “you have unpaid toll fees.” We don’t have toll roads in Kaua’i.

Unless you signed up to be notified by text from your dmv just repo and block. If you respond you are verifying/confirming to them that your phone number is active and you'll get more crap sent your way than ever.

I've been receiving texts to pay my overdue E-ZPass charges, but I don't even have an E-Z Pass. I have reported them for phishing each time.

Another reason why I don't own a car.

This has been going on for a while. No toll roads in this state either. And why would I think a text from Southeast Asia was from the DMV anyway?

Donald will protect us with a golden shower dome from non existent air borne weapons yet can’t protect us from every day real cyber smishing threats.

I enjoy the text message I get every few months saying I have unpaid toll fees from last year. I haven't had a car in over 6 years or so.

We’ve gotten scam texts about our local toll bridge. Just check your account, & Don’t use their link!!

They need to be caught and punished. Horrible as they mostly target the elderly.

I'm old so i believe everythings a scam. Seems like theirs no consequences for the scammers.

why not apnews.com/article/cybe...

I’ve received a few text messages from EZ Pass which is a Toll collecting service for the Mass. Turnpike threatening I had an unpaid balance. And I don’t own a car.

No one texts people for money unless it's a scam. Companies mail letters or e-mail and in the case of the latter you should be vetting all emails for authenticity.

Just got a text a few moments ago. The message had a website in it. I turned on my laptop VPN then entered that address and found out it was not a real site. I knew I didn't owe any money but that one look real. The fraudsters are getting better. Watch out!

I love when EZ Pass texted me 1. We don’t have any toll roads in our area and 2. I haven’t been able to drive for 25 years and no cars are in my name. Bring it on, scammers!! #legallyblind #stargardts

Yes I was surprised I could pay my fine in baht.

Minors arent allowed.

I get them all the time. They originate from a hotmail account, of all things. "Reply Y then exit and reenter"

I’ve been getting texts about unpaid tolls.I immediately block the sender & delete because I don’t travel on toll roads.

It’s constant! Just delete and report…don’t respond!!
